What is PopExtras?
	PopExtras consists of two parts, the first being a button which is attached to
the bottom of the NotePad next to the keyboard icon etc.  Tapping this button
will present you with a pop-up menu containing a user definable list of apps
installed on the Newton.  Tapping an app name will open that app!  The second
part of PopExtras is the utility that is used to select which apps will be
displayed in the popup button.  This utility consists of a scrolling list which
contains the apps installed on the Newton.  Tapping on an item in the list will
place a check to the left of the app name, tapping again will remove the check.
Simple.  There is also a Clear button which will uncheck all items.  Next to the
Clear button is an Open button which can be used to open the selected app
(whether it is checked or not).  This is useful if you have filled your Extras
Drawer.  Checking and unchecking items will be immediately reflected in the
popup menu (only visible if you close the Extras Drawer after opening
PopExtras).

Some Important Information
	PopExtras will create a union soup called ÒPopExtras:cometÓ, at install time,
on your Newton.  This soup is used to store the items that will be displayed in
the popup.  I have tested PopExtras rigorously to ensure it does not incur the
wrath of the ÔGrip-O-DeathÕ god.  This is not a guarantee, just a fair amount of
reassurance ;-)

ShareWare notice
	PopExtras is shareware, so if you like this app and intend using it for any
reasonable length of time, you are encouraged (pleaded with!) to send a cheque
made out for $10 in Australian funds, (money orders are also acceptable!) to the
below address.  In countries where converting funds is expensive, you may send
an equivalent cash amount.  Just place it inside a card or similar (to keep
prying eyes out!), and mail it.

Distribution of PopExtras
	You are hereby encouraged to copy and distribute PopExtras for non-commercial
use with the following restrictions:

	¥ You may copy and distribute the ÒPopExtras PackageÓ file (containing
"PopExtras.pkg", "READ ME" (MS Word) and "READ ME.txt"), but not the individual
Newton application and document files.  This will ensure that users receive a
complete package with all documentation.  

	¥ You may not modify the contents of the ÒPopExtras PackageÓ file in any way. 
Re-packaging into other formats (eg .ZIP) is ok, just include all the original
files.

	¥ You may not charge any fee for the use, copying, or distribution of the
product.

	¥ Organisers of 'shareware library' CD-ROMs (eg 'AMUG - BBS In A Box' - hello
Michael, Ashley et al!) etc, who wish to include the ÒPopExtras PackageÓ file,
should contact me first.  Under most circumstances, I will allow its inclusion.

Last but not least.
	Special thanks go to Jesse Divine for his Button Development Kit (contact
jester@apple.com for more information on the BDK).  Thanks also go to Peter
Marks for the initial idea and his continual tips for improvement.  Peter was
also the poor soul who did most of the initial beta-testing.

Upgrading from PopExtras v1.0:
	Users of version 1.0 who upgrade to 1.2 do not need to do anything special. 
Version 1.2 will upgrade the existing soup on your Newton!

Version Log:
1.2	¥ Attended to 'PopExtras Most Wanted Fix'.  When an app was deleted from the
Newt, and it appeared in PopExtras' soup, it was impossible to remove that
single item.  You had to clear the soup and re-enter all your apps.  This
problem has been fixed by showing all apps that appear in PopExtras' soup.  Apps
that are in the soup, but not on the Newt, are displayed in bold (and
underlined, you can't miss 'em!).  To clear them from the soup just remove their
'tick' by tapping on them.
	¥ Suppressed the stray 'ink-spots' which sometimes appeared when tapping an
item in the application list (purely cosmetic problem, but it annoyed the hell
out of me!).
	¥ Added ability to access the Card package.
	¥ Increased speed of PopExtras startup.
	¥ Added registration name in about screen.

1.1	¥ Added Notification (other than a beep), if the item that is selected from
the menu cannot be found on the Newt.  
	¥ Added support for opening books.
	¥ Added company logo to about screen (sorry John!).
	¥ The popup list is now sorted alphabetically.
	¥ The list of installed apps is also sorted alphabetically.
	¥ Scrolling within PopExtras is now a bit quicker.
